MSPROV DTD Format

  • Article

The Microsoft MSPROV document type definition (DTD) describes the configuration document that is passed between the provisioning source and the Microsoft® Windows® Mobile-based Smartphone or Windows Mobile-based Pocket PC device. It extends the PROV DTD as defined in the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) Provisioning Content Specification, WAP-183-PROVCONT, Version 24-July-2001. Smartphone and Pocket PC support only Universal Transformation Format 8 (UTF-8) encoded provisioning XML.

In MSPROV DTD, the first entry under the top-level wap-provisioningdoc element is a characteristic element that references a specific Configuration Service Provider . Beneath this characteristic element, any number of characteristic elements can be used to perform, or limit the scope of, an operation. For example, the FileOperation Configuration Service Provider has characteristics that perform operations (such as copy and delete), and others that specify directories (such as type="\Windows"). Beneath the last characteristic element can be any number of parm elements.

The Microsoft MSPROV DTD format is as follows:
